I'm an undercover agent at the High School of Magic

"You, what nonsense are you talking about, what is ending my pain... Dazai, did I do something wrong? Why do you say that, can we talk about something?"

However, Dazai's cold eyes and killing intent proved that he was not joking.

"Talk? Give you a chance to break free from my hand? Or do you want to wait for Gojo Satoru to save you? Sorry, I forgot that you don't know my past occupation now, so it's inevitable to have such a naive idea..."

Dazai smiled lightly.

"I used to know you better than anyone else. I know your weaknesses clearly. I won't give you any chance, so..."

"Goodbye."

……

Gunshots rang out in a suite of a luxury hotel located near a landmark building in the city. The hotel raised the alarm and evacuated the crowd, waiting for the police to investigate.

……

Edogawa Ranpo was eating with Gojo Satoru at this time.

It was an exquisitely decorated coffee shop, and there was a table of snacks and desserts in front of the two of them, making people jealous why they had such good skin after consuming so much sugar.

Eating sweets is something that makes people happy. Gojo Satoru is obviously in a good mood at this time, he wiped his mouth, and said to Ranpo slowly, "Although the desserts here are very good, I believe you are not here to find me Eat your cake, Mr. Ranpo."

Ranbu said to him while cutting the cake, "Actually, for some reason, I have one very important thing that I didn't talk about."

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows.

"In fact, when I was saving Xiaohe, I fought against Gan Zhimei."

Gojo Satoru leaned on the table and stared at Ranbu.

"Don't get excited, I didn't deliberately hide it from you. You can tell this matter to anyone, but you can't do it in front of Hemei."

"what do you mean……"

"Ganzhimei can understand the outside world through Hemei's perspective."

……

The 14-year-old Xiaohe disappeared. Everyone who knew them said that Xiaohe finally couldn't bear the burden of Luanpo and ran away. Only Luanbu firmly believed that she was taken away.

There were no signs of intrusion or fighting by outsiders in the house, which was normal, because Xiaohe left on his own initiative.

But she definitely didn't give up on Luanbu... Her identity certificate and savings were still kept in the rental house. Even if it was a relationship for many years, if she left alone, she was afraid of Luanbu's sadness and accusations and dared not say goodbye, so there was no need to give up Documents, Ranbu has no ability to stop her, physically.

Although Xiaohe was very careful not to leave many traces, Ranbu found some traces of other people from outside the house.

He followed those chaotic footsteps to a dense forest.

The bloodstains and messy grass clippings and branches that have not been dealt with in time prove that this is the scene of the first crime.

Xiaohe was captured here... She thought she could solve everything by herself, so she didn't even say a word, and left while she was sleeping soundly, so as to avoid him from being in danger.

This is a sudden and long-planned kidnapping, there is no doubt about it.

……

Luanbu, who is only 14 years old, is struggling on the road of investigation.

No one believed his words, everyone and the police felt that he was talking nonsense, and could not accept the departure of his childhood sweetheart who had been helping him.

Fortunately, after he got Fukuzawa's help, through Fukuzawa's own prestige and reputation, he came into contact with more things and traced them to a deeper level.

Someone behind the scenes found out about their investigation.

Thus, all the clues suddenly disappeared overnight.

It's not the kind of rude approach that kills and silences at first glance, but something more magical and incomprehensible.

All the physical evidence and traces have been cleaned up, as clean as if someone had washed the ground hundreds of times with disinfectant, as if they had never existed... and the relevant personnel seemed to have lost their memory... No , They just had amnesia, and completely forgot about it.

It was as if Xiaohe had really left on his own initiative... No one knew about it except himself, including those accomplices and promoters.

"Stop, Ranpo, we can't continue anymore." Fukuzawa who said these words seemed to be more uncomfortable than Ranpo himself.

"This is someone with a special ability intervening... Unless the person with the ability can be found and let him remove the ability, no one will be able to find her."

But at that time, the armed detective agency had not yet been established. How could the two powerless people find the legendary supernatural being who could eliminate criminal evidence?

"No, there is still a way..." The more it is at this moment, the more incongruous and chaotic steps will not disappoint.

"They haven't cleaned up the clues yet." Luanbu said affirmatively, "My own existence is the biggest clue and evidence."

"You mean... no, it's too dangerous, Luanbu, you're still a child."

"But it's the quickest way, uncle, compared to looking for supernatural beings who have only heard of rumors."

Ranbu's eyes were extremely firm.

"The longer the time drags on, the more dangerous Crane Sauce will be."

.........

It is not wishful thinking to use oneself as a bait to catch the flaws of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Since the other party is planning to erase all clues and witnesses about Daozhihe's kidnapping, Ranpo himself is an indispensable part.

"The other party is very good at destroying evidence, and they are very cautious. This method can be said to completely cut off all the power we may borrow from the police and the government."

"This kind of method seems to be the same as the disappearance case that was so hot a while ago... The method is very thorough. It is also that all the physical evidence disappeared overnight, and all the witnesses suddenly changed their mouths. Finally, under the insistence of public opinion, they were forced to The informant went and dismissed the case."

Having said that, Ranpo showed the social section of the newspaper in his hand.

"I managed to get his phone number, but do you know what happened?"

Ranbu showed a winning smile.

"He denied the case, saying that the missing person had left many years ago, and firmly believed that he was possessed by a ghost when he reported the case. He had no impression of all this."

"That person will never forget me, absolutely."

……

After Mr. Fukuzawa pretended to leave Ranpo, he did catch the black hand behind the scenes, but...

"But, damn it, why can't I remember."

……

With the help of Mr. Fukuzawa, Ranpo, relying on his clever mind, reversed his fictional memory and traced to a remote mountain village through clues.

That is the small mountain village Gojo Satoru investigated later, where Ganzhimei and Daozhihe were born.

But because of the delay in getting rid of false memories, when they arrived there, the previous scene repeated itself.

The traces of the two living here disappeared completely, and no one in this poor but hostile mountain village remembered the two.

All clues disappeared again, and no one tried to destroy the living evidence of Ranpo again.

……

Hemei covered her head in embarrassment, a large amount of blood slid from her forehead, covering half of her cheeks, looking very terrifying.

"I keep saying that I am a friend, but when I start to fight, I am more ruthless than anyone else."

She raised her hair, and a large piece of flesh was cut off from her left forehead, revealing a deep bone-deep wound.

"Aren't you afraid to shoot her down with a real bullet?"

"If I don't do this, how can I force you out, Ms. Mikie Mei." Dazai's smirk was as usual, making it impossible to see his sincerity, "After all, you know how Tsurumi-chan used the magic gun to scare me, so that I can't see it. You misunderstood me, what should I do if I am courteous?"

Hemei... No, it's Ganzhimei, this enigmatic curser, appeared on Hemei again.

It's just that this time, she didn't emerge from her body in the shape of that monster, but replaced Hemei's consciousness as if she had seized her body.

"Hmph, what a tough guy, as annoying as the hat-wearing guy... No, you're more annoying than him."

Her charming and malicious smile, and her evil demeanor can make people clearly realize that she is a completely different existence from Hemei.

No, or rather, she did it on purpose.

"Have you discussed it? But you used real bullets, not rubber bullets. Did you tell him?"

"There is no comment on this point, Ms. Ganzhimei." Osamu Dazai pretended to take out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Wipe it off, it's hard to explain when the police come later."

"It's good for everyone if you stay away from this body, the spell will be invalidated."

As she said that, the gunshot wound on her head was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, densely packed, and the scene of new flesh and blood was simply tingling.

She did it on purpose, she didn't use her hair to cover the wound, she deliberately opened it for Dazai to see... But unfortunately, this didn't even seem like an appetizer to Dazai, he stared at the wound with great interest, as if he saw something interesting something like yelling.

"Oh, oh, it turns out that the wound grows like this... Is it the nerve, muscle tissue, or blood vessel first..."

"shut up."

On the contrary, Gan Zhimei couldn't bear his appearance anymore, let down her hair, and covered the wound again.

"Tell me, why are you looking for me? As you said, it doesn't matter which crane plum you are now, after all, it's the same crane plum to you."

Dazai shook his head.

"No, no, you are wrong. Who doesn't want their friend to be a good person?"

"It's good for everyone to figure out this question. After all, I'm not Mr. Ranpo, and I can't believe in my friends like that."

Gan Zhimei felt like hearing an extremely ridiculous joke, her stomach hurt from laughing, and she was speechless for a long time.

After a while, she calmed down and laughed.

"Believe it or not? Are you telling some joke of the century?"

Her evil smile seemed to take the person in the words to hell together.

"He must be feeling guilty. If he hadn't had doubts about his childhood sweetheart back then, maybe he would have found us a long time ago."

……

It was like a nightmare scene.

Lying on the bed in disorder, he waited for the black hand behind the scenes that he expected.

"Master Ranbu caught you, hahaha...ha?"

The expected mastermind, the unexpected.

The girl caught by Ranpo has the same face as his childhood sweetheart.

What I saw at that time, was it Crane Sauce, or was it a false memory modified by the mastermind behind the scenes?

This incident has troubled Ranpo for many, many years.

Until he reunited with his childhood sweetheart again.
